It’s New Year’s Eve, and you’re not alone.

Written for the 2025 Queer Vampire Jam, this is a sequel/companion to my two games from last year's jam, Blood and Company and Blood and Intimacy, but it also works as a standalone. Play as vampire Zach dating human grad student Lyle, who has a request for you tonight—stay over... and face the sunlight tomorrow.

This is so sweet, with some more sad parts. I love their relationship and how they both love each other.  Zach's constant worry was quite sad to see but understandable, especially if he stays the night. I love how much Lyle tries to help, how much they love him. Also how welcoming and kind their family were.

I've gone through and played all three of the games connected to Zach and Lyle, they were all so good.

I loved the variety between melancholy and kind of self-blame and the sweet confidence in one another. Lyle and their family are very cute, and I’m curious about Zach’s backstory. Thank you!
